Saturday March 17, 2012, 10 A.M. to 12 P.M.
Ward Stanke will tell us how to protect ourselves from being attacked by advertising while browsing the Internet.
Ward Stanke is a long time software developer, having written his first programs in college back in the mid-sixties. Upon seeing the Macintosh when it was introduced in 1984, his immediate reaction was “I have to program that!” He subsequently acquired his first Macintosh (a 128K Mac with single floppy drive and an Imagewriter printer) in May of that year. He has been writing programs both for himself and others on the Mac since then.
Ward has worked writing commercial Mac software or managing groups of developers for a number of well known firms, including Roxio, Adobe and Intuit. He has contributed to the development of Toast, Quicken for Mac, and a number of installers for Adobe products. He retired from full time software development in 2009. He now writes Mac software as a hobby.
